For his Fall Winter 2025-2026 collection at Paris Fashion Week, Abraham Ortuño Perez—better known as Abra—delivered a sartorial love letter to his childhood memories of fashion. With his eponymous label serving as an autobiographical project, the designer channeled the wonder and aspiration he felt when accompanying his mother to local boutiques in search of the perfect occasion piece.

These intimate experiences, shaped by the allure of garments labeled "from Paris," fueled Ortuño Perez’s creative vision—not as mere replicas of the past, but as a recreation of that longing for sartorial glamour. The result was a collection that embodied the thrill of discovering exquisite fashion, blending retro influences with a sharp contemporary edge.

Abra reinterpreted "the small town boutique hits" of the late 1980s and early ’90s, infusing them with avant-garde craftsmanship. The show opened with striking faux fur coats that transformed models into human-sized roses—an audacious, romantic twist on the season’s fur trend. Twofer coats juxtaposed plush fur with gabardine and suiting, echoing the iconic Working Girl silhouette with exaggerated rounded shoulders, while leggings grounded the look in modernity. Deconstructed denim jackets, reassembled trench coats, and cropped leather outerwear paired with sleek catsuits reflected his signature play on contrasts.

Though Abra has gained recognition for his coveted accessories, this season marked a confident evolution in his ready-to-wear. The collection’s crescendo arrived in a trio of draped lamé dresses—glistening, asymmetrical, and boldly ruffled—pieces designed for those who live and breathe fashion. These were the kind of showstoppers that would enchant fashion true believers in any boutique, whether imported or homegrown.

With FW25, Abra masterfully blended nostalgia with reinvention, proving that the past is never just a memory—it’s a catalyst for the future of fashion.
